Advent Devotional Dec. 7
Welcome to Lord Of Life’s Advent Devotions for 2015. Our theme centers around Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, which will also the be theme of our Wednesday evening services. This devotional is in the form of a homily – a line-by-line discussion of A Christmas Carol – not the whole story, but the Spark Notes summary. When you see the words What Think Ye: please interpret as “discussion starter for our family or group” or “meditation focus” if by yourself.
Opening Prayer: Lord, guide us as we ponder the ways in which this story and your story may influence our story – as our lives unfold today. Amen.
December 7th
Marley hopes to save Scrooge from sharing the same fate, condemned to wander the Earth weighted down with heavy chains.
What Think Ye: Can/do we learn from others, or do we “prefer” to make our own mistakes?
Closing Prayer: May we live this day more deeply aware of your presence – in our past, in our present, and in our future. Amen.
